Philadelphia-based Redshift Sports, a cycling brand known for the design and executions of cutting edge cycling components, released its latest innovation; the ShockStop Suspension Seatpost.
The ShockStops’s unique design, born from experience engineering
suspension systems for heavy duty off-road equipment, will dramatically improve
your riding experience. It is equally suited for an epic gravel adventure or
just dealing with potholes on your daily commute. The Seatpost is available for
pre-orderstarting April 10th via Kickstarter
(https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/redshiftsports/shockstop-seatpost-add-suspension-to-your-bike).
In 2015, Redshift launched the ShockStop Suspension Stem,
providing suspension to the front end of the bike. ShockStop changed the way
people thought about suspension stems. And it helped start the movement to add
comfort and compliance back into road, gravel and CX bikes. Before the first
stem was even available, customers were asking when Redshift would develop a
companion seatpost.
The ShockStop Seatpost suspends the riders body, isolating them
from the imperfections of the road and trail. Travel and suspension kinematics
were optimized to provide a plush, bottomless feel. Riders can adjust the
spring rate and preload to suit their specific riding style and terrain. By
integrating elements of the suspension into the post itself, the ShockStop
achieves a compact and lightweight design that mates well with all styles of
bicycle.
The ShockStop Seatpost lets you ride faster and more efficiently
by keeping you stable and allowing the bike to absorb the rough terrain. This
means you spend more time putting power to the pedals and less time bracing for
impacts. The ShockStop Seatpost is the rare
product that increases comfort AND performance.
ShockStop Seatpost is suggested for all types of riding: gravel,
CX, E-bike, commuter, road, and mountain.
